What a great location right on Lake of the Woods with 360 degree views of the Lake and City. I knew the hotel was located on the lake and have seen photos from the hotel's web site but until I saw it for myself, I couldn't get over the stunning views from the Waterside Restaurant & Lounge and from my...

I booked on-line and was confirmed that I would get lakeside view. Upon checking in we got a room #414 facing away from lake. For that I was charged $317.26 on-line. When I checked out the bill was adjusted at the desk to $203.85. Now I receive a bill from the credit card co. for $542.59. They double billed me.... More

Staff were friendly but when I asked where I should eat, front desk staff said there were "lots of nice restaurants around". But didn't offer any insider suggestions. I ended up eating at the restaurant in the hotel but despite its great view (not that I could appreciate it in the dark) the restaurant felt dated. Although my salad was... More

The location is excellent. Great views of Lake of the Woods and you can walk anywhere in Kenora from the hotel. The gym next door at the rec center is great. The rooms are worn but clean . The hotel really needs an upgrade. I have had great experiences in the dining room and horrible ones. Hit and miss.

After freezing several hours while trying to heat up our cottage, my family and I decided to give up and spend the night in Kenora instead. Although the reservation process with the Best Western switchboard in Missouri was pleasant, it turns out their system is incompatible with the Lakeside Inn's reservation software and when we arrived to check in we...

Exterior or the building and the lobby could defiantly uses some updates but the Hotel was great. Service was friendly and the food in the dinning room was better then what I was expecting. The rooms were fine but the bed was awesome. Even my colleague said it was one of most comfortable beds he's slept in and this guy... More

Kenora is a fantastic place to travel to, for couples, adventurers, and families, but surprisingly there's only one hotel directly on the water, and this is it. It's worth it to pay the extra $10 a night for the lake view - it's great. The rooms are a little small, and the walls are a little thin, and the style... More

This is my second time staying at this nice hotel, and I will do so yet again if I find myself in the area. The hotel's dining room and lounge both offer really good food; no higher priced than other in-hotel dining rooms. Such friendliness! The room was super clean and comfortable, and the novelty of floor-to-ceiling windows offered such... More

I have stayed in this hotel before and the service is consistent and friendly. The hotel is round and has some great views of the city and lake. It would be nice if they had a hot tub with the pool and sauna. I would return.
